10. Forgetting to look at emails<\/span><\/p>\n

Problem: I seem to have developed a spam filter in my head, allowing me to glaze over emails I receive that do not particularly pertain to me. Although this is usually beneficial, I occasionally miss emails that were important because I did not read them thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Solution: I decided to spend a day analyzing the text of every email I received. (Only 6 in total). I opened the email, read it, found the parts of the text that stood out to me as the most important and pulled them aside. I personally prefer when ideas are expressed visually, so I decided to create a visual representation of each email. \u00a0I googled the key phrases in the text, pulled the results off of \u00a0google images, and collaged the images together in photoshop to create a visual version of the email. I then replied to the email with this image.<\/p>\n
